| Abstract: | This study reviewed the evolving capabilities of hydro-drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which are used for spraying and cleaning with a focus on water management, and it revealed that the unique capabilities of hydro-drones offered the potential to create challenging and rewarding education and training programs, designed to provide new or expanded employment opportunities and related career paths for adventuresome individuals in the growing field of drone technology. Overall, the study found that hydro-drones are having a dramatic transformational impact on many industries, especially their cleaning and sanitizing programs, while creating a demand for employees with the requisite education and training background in drone technology. The proverbial door is opening wide for higher education, trade organizations, and professional associations to develop and to offer innovative programs covering drone technology, management and entrepreneurship. Included in such courses could be added exposure to legal and regulatory compliance, drone safety, and drafting a drone flight plan, as required by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). |
